Question 1Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

In British Columbia, at what age can a person first apply for a learner's licence under the Graduated Licensing Program?

  1. 17 years old
  2. 18 years old
  3. 16 years old Correct answer.
  4. 15 years old

Explanation

A person must be at least 16 years old to apply for a Class 7L learner's licence in British Columbia. Applicants younger than 19 must also have a parent or guardian sign the consent portion of the application.

Question 2Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

Before taking the Class 7L knowledge test, an applicant must present which of the following?

  1. A doctor's fitness certificate
  2. A vehicle registration form
  3. Two pieces of acceptable identification Correct answer.
  4. A driver's abstract from another country

Explanation

Applicants must show two pieces of acceptable identification, with at least one showing the applicant's photograph and signature, to prove name, birth date and residency. Vehicle documents are not part of the knowledge test requirement.

Question 3Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

What is the passing mark for the Class 7L knowledge test in British Columbia?

  1. 70 percent
  2. 75 percent
  3. 80 percent Correct answer.
  4. 90 percent

Explanation

The knowledge test is multiple choice, and a score of at least 80 percent is required to pass. Failing means the applicant must wait before trying again.

Question 4Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

How long must a new Class 7L learner normally hold the learner's licence before becoming eligible for the Class 7N road test?

  1. At least 6 months
  2. At least 3 months
  3. At least 24 months
  4. At least 12 months Correct answer.

Explanation

A learner must hold the Class 7L licence for a minimum of 12 months before taking the Class 7 road test. This period allows the new driver to gain supervised experience in varied conditions.

Question 5Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

Under the Graduated Licensing Program, who must accompany a Class 7L learner while driving?

  1. A fully licensed driver aged 25 or older Correct answer.
  2. Any licensed driver aged 18 or older
  3. Another learner driver
  4. A certified driving instructor only

Explanation

A learner must be supervised by a fully licensed driver who is at least 25 years old and has held a valid licence for at least five years. The supervisor sits in the front passenger seat.

Question 6Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

Which restriction applies to a Class 7L learner carrying passengers?

  1. Only family members may be carried
  2. Up to four passengers are allowed
  3. No passengers are allowed at any time
  4. Only one passenger besides the supervisor is allowed Correct answer.

Explanation

A learner may carry no more than one passenger other than the supervising driver. The restriction reduces distraction while the new driver builds experience.

Question 7Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

What blood alcohol concentration must a Class 7L or 7N driver maintain while driving?

  1. Under 0.08
  2. Zero Correct answer.
  3. Under 0.02
  4. Under 0.05

Explanation

Novice and learner drivers are subject to a zero blood alcohol concentration requirement. Any alcohol detected results in penalties under the Graduated Licensing Program.

Question 8Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

Which document should a learner carry while driving to show their licence status?

  1. A passport alone
  2. A valid learner's licence Correct answer.
  3. A photocopy of a birth certificate
  4. A vehicle insurance certificate

Explanation

Drivers must carry their valid licence and produce it when requested by a peace officer. Other documents do not prove driving privileges.

Question 9Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

A learner fails the knowledge test on the first attempt. What is the normal next step?

  1. Appeal the result to the Superintendent
  2. Wait at least one day and pay the re-examination fee Correct answer.
  3. Wait six months before retesting
  4. Retake the test the same day at no cost

Explanation

After a failed attempt, the applicant must wait at least one day before retesting and pay the applicable re-examination fee. Repeated failures lead to longer waiting periods.

Question 10Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

A learner has held a Class 7L for 12 months but has not completed the required supervised driving time. What is the likely result at the road test?

  1. The learner automatically advances to Class 7N
  2. The road test proceeds because time alone is enough
  3. The learner receives a warning but is tested anyway
  4. The learner may be refused the road test until the hours are completed Correct answer.

Explanation

Eligibility for the Class 7 road test requires both the minimum holding period and completion of the required supervised driving hours. Missing hours means the applicant is not yet eligible.

Question 11Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

Which statement best describes the purpose of the Graduated Licensing Program?

  1. It replaces the need for a road test
  2. It phases new drivers through supervised and less restricted stages as experience grows Correct answer.
  3. It allows new drivers to obtain full privileges immediately after passing a written test
  4. It applies only to drivers who have been convicted of offences

Explanation

The program introduces driving privileges gradually, starting with supervision and moving to fewer restrictions. This staged approach helps new drivers build skills and judgment before full licensing.

Question 12Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

A person moves to British Columbia holding a valid out-of-province learner's licence. What generally happens to their learner stage?

  1. The learner is immediately issued a full licence
  2. The learner must pass a road test before any licence is issued
  3. The learner must restart the full 12-month period
  4. Credit may be given for time already held, subject to verification Correct answer.

Explanation

Drivers arriving with a valid learner's licence from another jurisdiction may receive credit toward the holding period if the licence is verified. The remaining requirements still apply before the road test.

Question 13Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

What happens to a Class 7N driver who receives a prohibition for accumulating too many penalty points?

  1. The driver is advanced to a full licence
  2. The driver may continue driving with a warning letter
  3. Only a fine is issued and the licence class is unchanged
  4. The licence is suspended and the driver returns to the learner stage Correct answer.

Explanation

Novice drivers face stricter consequences than fully licensed drivers. A prohibition for excessive points results in suspension, and the driver returns to the learner stage after the prohibition ends.

Question 14Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

Which of the following is required before a Class 7L learner may take the Class 7 road test?

  1. A vehicle owned by the applicant
  2. A vehicle with a manual transmission
  3. A brand-new vehicle
  4. A vehicle that passes a safety inspection for the test Correct answer.

Explanation

The vehicle used for the road test must be roadworthy and pass a safety inspection. It does not need to be new, owned by the applicant, or have a particular transmission.

Question 15Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

A Class 7L learner is driving at night with a supervisor. Which rule applies?

  1. Night driving requires a special permit
  2. Night driving is allowed only after 12 months
  3. Night driving is prohibited for all learners
  4. Night driving is permitted with the supervisor present Correct answer.

Explanation

Learners may drive at night as long as a qualified supervisor is present. Night driving is encouraged because it builds experience in low-visibility conditions.

Question 16Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

What must a Class 7N driver display on the vehicle while driving?

  1. An N sign visible from behind Correct answer.
  2. A green L sign
  3. No sign at all
  4. A red P sign

Explanation

Novice drivers must display a clearly visible N sign on the rear of the vehicle. Failing to display it can result in a fine.

Question 17Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

Which condition applies to a Class 7N driver carrying passengers?

  1. Up to five passengers are permitted
  2. No passengers are permitted at any time
  3. Only passengers over 25 are permitted
  4. No more than one passenger unless accompanied by a supervisor Correct answer.

Explanation

Novice drivers may carry only one passenger unless a qualified supervisor is present. The restriction is lifted after the driver completes the novice stage.

Question 18Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

A learner wants to practise on a highway with a posted speed limit of 100 km/h. What is the correct approach?

  1. Highway driving is prohibited for learners
  2. Highway driving requires a special endorsement
  3. Practise only where the learner can drive safely with supervision and within licence conditions Correct answer.
  4. Highway driving is allowed only with a driving instructor

Explanation

Learners may drive on highways when supervised and when they can operate safely within the conditions of their licence. Experience on different road types is part of becoming a competent driver.

Question 19Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

What is the consequence of driving without a qualified supervisor while holding a Class 7L?

  1. The driver is subject to penalties for breaching licence conditions Correct answer.
  2. The driver receives a warning only
  3. The driver may continue if a passenger is over 18
  4. The licence automatically upgrades to Class 7N

Explanation

Driving without the required supervisor breaches the conditions of the learner's licence and can lead to penalties. A passenger over 18 who is not a qualified supervisor does not satisfy the rule.

Question 20Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

Which pair of documents is most relevant when applying for a first learner's licence in British Columbia?

  1. A driver's abstract and a passport photo
  2. A road test appointment and a medical note
  3. Proof of identity and proof of residency Correct answer.
  4. A vehicle insurance certificate and a bill of sale

Explanation

The application process focuses on confirming who the applicant is and where they live. Identity and residency documents are therefore the key items.

Question 21Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

A learner has completed the 12-month holding period and all supervised hours. Which step comes next in the licensing sequence?

  1. Waiting an additional 24 months
  2. Taking the knowledge test again
  3. Passing the Class 7 road test to become a novice Correct answer.
  4. Applying for a commercial licence

Explanation

Once the learner stage requirements are met, the next step is the Class 7 road test. Passing it moves the driver to the novice stage.

Question 22Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

A Class 7N driver is convicted of a driving offence. What is a likely consequence under the Graduated Licensing Program?

  1. No effect because novice drivers are exempt
  2. Immediate promotion to a full licence
  3. A longer novice period or a return to the learner stage Correct answer.
  4. Only a verbal warning

Explanation

Novice drivers face stricter consequences for offences, which can include an extended novice period or a return to the learner stage. The program emphasizes safe driving habits before full licensing.

Question 23Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

A person applies for a learner's licence but cannot provide a document proving residency. What is the most appropriate outcome?

  1. The person may use another person's documents
  2. The person is automatically referred to the road test
  3. The application cannot be completed until residency is proven Correct answer.
  4. The person is issued a licence with a residency condition

Explanation

Residency is a core eligibility requirement, so the application cannot be finalized without acceptable proof. Using someone else's documents would be fraudulent.

Question 24Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

Which situation best illustrates a breach of the learner stage conditions?

  1. A learner practises in a residential area with a supervisor
  2. A learner drives with a supervisor who is 22 years old Correct answer.
  3. A learner drives at night with a 25-year-old fully licensed supervisor
  4. A learner drives during daylight with a supervisor

Explanation

A supervisor must be at least 25 years old and fully licensed, so a 22-year-old does not meet the requirement. The other situations satisfy the supervision conditions.

Question 25Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

A learner's licence has been suspended. What must generally occur before the learner can drive again?

  1. The learner must buy a new vehicle
  2. The learner must pass the road test immediately
  3. The learner simply resumes driving when ready
  4. The suspension must end and the learner must meet reinstatement requirements Correct answer.

Explanation

A suspended learner cannot drive until the suspension period ends and any reinstatement conditions are satisfied. Driving during a suspension would lead to further penalties.

Question 26Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

In British Columbia, what is the minimum age at which a person may apply for a Class 7L learner's licence?

  1. 16 years Correct answer.
  2. 14 years
  3. 15 years
  4. 18 years

Explanation

British Columbia requires a person to be at least 16 years old before applying for a Class 7L learner's licence, and the application normally requires parental or guardian consent for applicants under 19. The minimum age is tied to the start of the Graduated Licensing Program, so a younger applicant cannot begin the learner stage even with supervision.

Question 27Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

A new resident holds a valid learner's licence from another country. What is generally required before they can be issued a British Columbia learner's licence?

  1. They must first obtain a full BC driver's licence and then downgrade it
  2. They must wait a full year after arriving before applying
  3. They must pass the BC knowledge test and meet vision and identification requirements Correct answer.
  4. They must surrender their foreign passport permanently

Explanation

A newcomer with a foreign learner's licence still has to satisfy BC's own entry requirements, which include passing the knowledge test and meeting vision and identification standards. Holding a foreign learner permit does not automatically convert into a BC learner's licence.

Question 28Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

Which type of test must a person pass before being issued a Class 7L learner's licence?

  1. A road test on a closed course
  2. A first aid certificate exam
  3. A knowledge test on rules of the road and signs Correct answer.
  4. A mechanical inspection test

Explanation

The knowledge test checks understanding of traffic rules, signs, and safe driving principles, and passing it is a prerequisite for the learner's licence. Road testing of driving skill comes later in the licensing sequence, not at the learner entry stage.

Question 29Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

What is the standard passing score on the British Columbia Class 7 knowledge test?

  1. 90 percent
  2. 80 percent Correct answer.
  3. 70 percent
  4. 60 percent

Explanation

The BC knowledge test is scored by percentage and a candidate must reach 80 percent to pass. A score below that threshold means the test must be retaken, and a fee applies for each attempt.

Question 30Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

A learner takes the knowledge test and fails. Which statement describes the normal rule about retaking it?

  1. The learner must complete the road test first
  2. The learner is permanently barred from retesting
  3. The learner must wait five years before another attempt
  4. The learner may retake the test after paying the applicable fee, with no mandatory waiting period Correct answer.

Explanation

Failing the knowledge test does not end a person's eligibility; the usual consequence is that the test may be retaken after paying the fee again. There is no long mandatory waiting period built into the process for a failed knowledge attempt.

Question 31Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

Which piece of identification is normally required as proof of identity when applying for a first British Columbia learner's licence?

  1. A workplace identification badge
  2. A primary identification document such as a birth certificate or passport Correct answer.
  3. A recent utility bill alone
  4. A library card

Explanation

Applicants must present acceptable primary identification, such as a birth certificate or passport, along with supporting documents to confirm identity and residency. Secondary items like bills may support an application but cannot establish identity on their own.

Question 32Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

A learner has a medical condition that may affect driving. What is the appropriate step before proceeding with licensing?

  1. Submit the required medical information so fitness to drive can be assessed Correct answer.
  2. Ignore the condition because learners are exempt from medical review
  3. Wait until after the road test to mention it
  4. Ask a friend to certify fitness to drive

Explanation

Drivers must disclose medical conditions that could impair driving so that fitness can be assessed through the required medical reporting process. Licensing decisions, including any conditions or restrictions, depend on that assessment rather than on self-certification by acquaintances.

Question 33Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

What does a vision screening at the licensing office primarily confirm for a learner applicant?

  1. That the applicant has paid all outstanding fines
  2. That the applicant meets the minimum visual standards for driving Correct answer.
  3. That the applicant owns a vehicle
  4. That the applicant knows the rules of the road

Explanation

A vision screening checks whether the applicant's eyesight meets the minimum standard needed to drive safely, and it may lead to a requirement for corrective lenses. Knowledge of traffic rules is measured separately by the written test.

Question 34Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

A learner under 19 applies for a Class 7L licence. What is generally required in addition to the standard application?

  1. A letter from an employer
  2. Proof of vehicle insurance
  3. Consent from a parent or guardian Correct answer.
  4. A certificate from a driving school

Explanation

Applicants who are minors must have a parent or guardian sign consent as part of the application. This ensures an adult accepts responsibility for the young driver's participation in the Graduated Licensing Program.

Question 35Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

A person has a physical disability affecting their ability to operate a vehicle. What is the usual licensing outcome after assessment?

  1. The licence may be issued with a restriction or condition suited to their needs Correct answer.
  2. The person must obtain a commercial licence instead
  3. The person is automatically denied any licence
  4. The person must reapply only after age 25

Explanation

Where a medical or functional assessment shows a person can drive safely with adaptations or limits, the licence is normally issued with a corresponding restriction or condition. An automatic blanket denial is not the standard approach when safe driving can be supported.

Question 36Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

Which statement correctly describes how long a Class 7L learner must hold the learner's licence before taking the Class 7 road test, assuming all other requirements are met?

  1. At least 12 months Correct answer.
  2. At least 6 weeks
  3. At least 3 months
  4. At least 24 months

Explanation

The learner stage requires a minimum holding period of 12 months before the Class 7 road test may be taken. This period exists so new drivers gain substantial supervised experience across different conditions before advancing.

Question 37Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

A learner is preparing for the Class 7 road test. Which preparation is most consistent with the program's expectations?

  1. Accumulating varied supervised practice in different road, weather, and traffic conditions Correct answer.
  2. Practising only in a single familiar parking lot
  3. Practising only on empty residential streets at midday
  4. Relying solely on video instruction without driving

Explanation

The Graduated Licensing Program expects learners to build broad experience under supervision, including highways, night driving, and varied weather, so skills transfer to unfamiliar situations. Narrow practice limits exposure and leaves the learner unprepared for the road test and real driving.

Question 38Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

A learner's Class 7L licence is about to expire while they are still in the learner stage. What should the learner generally do?

  1. Renew the learner's licence to remain licensed while continuing the program Correct answer.
  2. Apply immediately for a full licence without testing
  3. Assume the licence renews automatically with no action
  4. Continue driving without renewal until the road test

Explanation

A learner's licence has an expiry date, and driving after it lapses means driving without a valid licence. The learner must renew it to keep practising lawfully and to continue accumulating the required experience.

Question 39Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

Two applicants arrive at the licensing office: one has never been licensed anywhere, and one holds a valid foreign driver's licence. Which statement best reflects how the Graduated Licensing Program generally treats them?

  1. Both must satisfy BC requirements, though documented prior experience may affect the process Correct answer.
  2. The foreign licence holder is exempt from all BC testing
  3. The never-licensed applicant skips the learner stage
  4. Neither applicant needs to provide identification

Explanation

British Columbia applies its own licensing requirements to all applicants, but documented driving experience from another jurisdiction may be considered when determining the appropriate entry point or credit. A foreign licence does not remove the need to meet BC standards, including identification and testing.

Question 40Driver licensing and Graduated Licensing Program (knowledge test eligibility and process)

A learner is caught driving outside the conditions of the Class 7L licence. Which outcome is most consistent with the Graduated Licensing Program?

  1. The learner's supervisor is issued a learner's licence
  2. The learner may face a driving prohibition and the learner stage may be extended Correct answer.
  3. The learner receives a written warning with no further effect
  4. The learner is automatically promoted to a full licence

Explanation

Breaching learner conditions is treated seriously under the Graduated Licensing Program, and consequences can include a prohibition from driving and a longer learner period before advancement. The program is designed so that unsafe behaviour delays progression rather than accelerating it.

Question 41Rules of the road and traffic signs, signals and markings

What does a steady red traffic light require a driver to do?

  1. Stop only if a police officer is directing traffic
  2. Slow down and proceed if the intersection appears clear
  3. Yield only to pedestrians already in the crosswalk
  4. Stop before the crosswalk or stop line and remain stopped until the light turns green Correct answer.

Explanation

A steady red light is an absolute command to stop. The driver must halt before the stop line, crosswalk, or edge of the intersection and stay stopped until a green signal or a lawful turn on red is completed.

Question 42Rules of the road and traffic signs, signals and markings

A flashing red light at an intersection should be treated in the same way as which of the following?

  1. A flashing yellow light
  2. A yield sign
  3. A green arrow
  4. A stop sign Correct answer.

Explanation

A flashing red signal means the driver must come to a complete stop, then proceed only when it is safe, exactly as at a stop sign. Flashing yellow, by contrast, only warns drivers to proceed with caution.

Question 43Rules of the road and traffic signs, signals and markings

A solid yellow traffic light appears as you approach an intersection. What is the correct action?

  1. Accelerate to clear the intersection before the red appears
  2. Sound your horn and continue at the same speed
  3. Always stop immediately regardless of your distance from the intersection
  4. Stop if you can do so safely, otherwise proceed through with caution Correct answer.

Explanation

A steady yellow light warns that the signal is changing to red. Drivers should stop if there is enough distance to do so safely; if stopping abruptly would be dangerous, they should continue through the intersection carefully.

Question 44Rules of the road and traffic signs, signals and markings

What does a green arrow pointing left mean when it appears with a red circular light?

  1. Left turns are prohibited until the circular light turns green
  2. Left turns are protected and oncoming traffic is stopped Correct answer.
  3. Left turns may be made only from the right lane
  4. Left turns are permitted only after yielding to oncoming traffic

Explanation

A green arrow gives a protected movement in the direction it points. When a left green arrow shows alongside a red circle, left-turning traffic has the right of way and conflicting oncoming traffic is held by red.

Question 45Rules of the road and traffic signs, signals and markings

When may a driver legally turn right at a steady red light?

  1. Only when a green arrow is also displayed
  2. Without stopping, provided no traffic is approaching
  3. Never, under any circumstances
  4. After a complete stop, if no sign prohibits it and the way is clear Correct answer.

Explanation

A right turn on red is generally allowed after coming to a full stop, yielding to pedestrians and cross traffic, unless a sign forbids the turn. Some jurisdictions restrict this, so posted signs control.

Question 46Rules of the road and traffic signs, signals and markings

What is the meaning of a flashing yellow traffic light?

  1. Come to a complete stop before proceeding
  2. Proceed with caution, slowing down and watching for hazards Correct answer.
  3. Yield the right of way to traffic on your right only
  4. The signal is broken and the intersection is uncontrolled

Explanation

A flashing yellow signal warns drivers to slow down and proceed carefully, watching for crossing traffic and pedestrians. It does not require a full stop and does not mean the intersection is uncontrolled.

Question 47Rules of the road and traffic signs, signals and markings

An octagonal sign with a white border and the word STOP is used because the shape itself conveys the message. What is the primary purpose of the unique octagonal shape?

  1. To show that the stop is optional in light traffic
  2. To make the sign easier to mount on a post
  3. To indicate that the sign applies only to trucks
  4. To identify the sign even when its face is obscured or viewed from behind Correct answer.

Explanation

The octagon is reserved for stop signs so drivers can recognize the requirement by shape alone, for example when the sign is partly hidden or seen from the back. Shape coding supplements the words and color.

Question 48Rules of the road and traffic signs, signals and markings

A downward-pointing triangular sign with a red border warns a driver approaching an intersection to do what?

  1. Stop completely before entering
  2. Merge without changing speed
  3. Yield the right of way to traffic on the intersecting road Correct answer.
  4. Expect a school crossing ahead

Explanation

The inverted triangle with a red border is the yield sign. It requires the driver to slow down and give way to traffic on the intersecting road, stopping only if necessary to avoid conflict.

Question 49Rules of the road and traffic signs, signals and markings

A yellow diamond-shaped sign is generally used to convey which type of information?

  1. Services such as fuel and lodging
  2. Route numbers for highways
  3. Warning of a hazard or change in road conditions ahead Correct answer.
  4. Regulatory requirements such as speed limits

Explanation

Yellow diamond signs are warning signs that alert drivers to hazards or changes ahead, such as curves, intersections, or narrowing roads. Regulatory signs are typically white rectangles with black or red markings.

Question 50Rules of the road and traffic signs, signals and markings

A circular sign with a red border and a red diagonal slash across a black symbol indicates what?

  1. A prohibition of the action shown by the symbol Correct answer.
  2. A recommended, optional action
  3. A mandatory instruction to follow the symbol
  4. A warning about a hazard ahead

Explanation

A red circle with a diagonal slash is the international prohibition symbol. Whatever action the symbol depicts, such as turning or parking, is forbidden beyond that point.
